Re: Some band just stole MSBWY and didn't even bother to mention Stard

Bro, the channel belongs to a label. Fees were payed, else this would've been a lawsuit and publications would've picked up the story.

I used to do YouTube videos, and one video I did involved a claim where Timbaland has outright stolen a Salt&Peppa sample (as in, no credit was given). Not only was I (justifiably) flamed, but a kind anonymous fellow messaged me explaining that, although Timbaland is infamous for this practice, with the track in question he did actually credit and pay them. Difference is the contract did not stipulate the original producers be outright mentioned in promotional material.

I know this "cover" sucks, and I agree. But as long as the video doesn't get taken down, that means it's legal. Parties were compensated.

(and yes, I know that Timbaland video is still up. I don't even remember the last time I logged in, neither the email nor password of said account.)
